My thought on it was he had 17 games to get better last year and we never saw anything more than marginal improvement at best. 5 weeks of off-season/pre-season practice wasn't going to fix that in my eyes. I hate it for him, you never want a young guy to fail, but I just don't see it getting any better.

He was a rookie who had no time to sit back and take a breath. Having said that, he’s struggling against second and third stringers, so yes he’s very close to being one of the bigger busts. Luckily for him Hageman, Southward and many others exist. vitaman, PokerSteve, Tim Mazetti and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a lot of worse guards than Mayfield over the last 10 years man. Mayfield is at least a solid run blocker, most of the people on our team can't do either.

I think we can all agree that finding a top notch left guard is job one next offseason. The answer is clearly not on the roster.

Herr Doktor Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Left guard has haunted this team for nearly a decade. That's a long time to be iffy at a position. PokerSteve and ItsJustMe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
